This is supposed to be a quick to grab, healthy breakfast. I haven't made it, but anything with Peanut butter can't be to bad, right ?
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- ½ c honey
- ½ c natural creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- ¼ c light brown sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 c rolled oats
- 2 c crisp brown rice cereal
- ¼ c toasted wheat germ
- ½ c chopped roasted peanuts
- ½ c chopped dried apricots
- ½ c chopped dried figs
- ½ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, peanut butter, maple syrup, canola oil, brown sugar, cinnamon. Stir and cook until mixture just begins to bubble, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
In a large bowl, combine oats, rice cereal, wheat germ, peanuts, apricots, figs and salt.
Pour peanut butter mixture over oatmeal mixture and stir gently with a spatula until well combined. Transfer to baking dish, cover with parchment paper and press firmly into dish. Allow to cool completely (will cool faster in the refrigerator). Cut into squares or bars.
